The broadcast that was only shown in the Kanto region in Japan

And then L was all like Well Kira, now I know youre in the Kanto region.

Why tf would he tell him that

That would just make it easy for Kira to flee to another part of the world

Better question is why Light was so stupid to fall for such an obvious trap.

I think Light would have figured it out pretty quick that it only aired in one spot based on news coverage

He was essentially just getting started, and he still didn't think it would even be possible for somebody to track him down for writing in a notebook.

Light had an undetectable magical killing device and still got caught. He's probably the dumbest character in all of fiction.

I stop at fiction bc i'm certain if Donald Trump got a death note, he'd be caught even sooner.

The fact that Light killed the fake L already largely confirmed L's psychological profile of him; the whole reason Light killed the fake was that he challenged his moral convictions by saying "what you're doing is evil." L's further comments were an extension of that provocation, he wanted Light to continue acting in ways that would expose himself.

It's more to do with the fact that Light is super arrogant. The Death Note just gave him a bigger outlet to exude his arrogance. When his ego gets attacked he makes stupid decisions.

Umm, no. L was basically a super genius with unlimited political and monetary pull. This basically means he had fictional superpowers to detect magical killing devices.

In real life no one would figure out a dude was killing people with a notebook unless everyone around that person started dropping like flies.

Well, in real life the notebook couldn't be magic either, which means it has to work within physics and might very well be traceable otherwise.

This is why no one would ever find it out. Because no one would believe a magic killing notebook exists.

Magic doesn't exist in real life, so neither can a magic notebook.

In real life, people would come to the conclusion of a death note-type device solely because we have a show called Death Note to use as a springboard.

Death Note is smart characters written smartly, Code Geass is smart characters written stupidly. Tension in Death Note comes from the chaeacters' plans being laid out and then them adapting to the unexpected and improvising on the fly. Tension in Code Geass comes from building up some crazy force that should fuck Lelouch and then him handwaving to victory by revealing he did something off screen ten minutes ago that took care of everything.

I rewatch Death Note every year or so, at least 70% of the complaints or criticisms of major story beats are due to people being straight up too stupid to even listen to the characters' own verbalizations of their intentions.

Doubt it. We consider things to be so far out the realm of possibility we wouldn't think of that for a while

Like zombies. If that shit really started happening people wouldn't think it was people turning into zombies until it was way too late. We would treat it like rabies or something. People would stay with sick loved ones, nurses and doctors would continue on with patients as normal

And when the shit went down, there would be a good day or two before people said "wait, think this shit is for real zombies?!"

In real life it would be so easy to distract everyone with a crazy cooky conspiracy theory such that no one expects you have the deathnote.

Just say Hilary is actually using nanobots activated from the covid shots to kill these people and voila

The creators of Death Note said that L is the smartest because the plot calls for it. That's why Light needed help, luck and bullshit to do anything against him.

Yes but Light logic wasn't terrible. He thought "I have a magic killing book. No way anyone would actually believe this and figure out that is what is happening. Therefore, I can kill this L guy on TV and no one would assume some dude has a magic killing book and targeted him."

But L is just that kinda guy.

L didn't mind letting Light know that he was on to his location because he correctly figured that Kira was too arrogant to flee. At that point it was a challenge.

That is why they became bros anyways.
L literally was like "Hey Light, you are Kira right? I can't prove it yet but I think you are."

Pretty dumb to say except that they both enjoy the challenge.
